I am sick and tired of public officials...including the President, Governors and police chiefs...parading up to the microphone and offering their condolences to the families of those killed in the flurry of wanton violence in our country...like yesterday's deadly assault at the Washington DC Naval Station. All civilized people regret the senseless killing of life.
But second, and perhaps more importantly, how did the killer carrying three weapons get past the security checks at the entrance gate to this military installation and at the building where he executed 12 innocent people? What you say? There are no security checks there...even though the United States is at war with terrorists? Has not al Qaeda implored its troops to attack us here in the U.S.? None of these officials...all of whom desperately wanted their current positions and who assured us they were uniquely qualified for them... none of them thought it advisable to have sophisticated electronic and other surveillance systems in place as protection against yesterday's killer?
So, I say, start doing what you were hired to do...and keep those too-late condolences to yourselves until they are something more than a cover-up for your failure to do your jobs.
